Are their 32p & 48p not true & a shonky tooth profile?

Or do you mean is you didn't know what you needed & bought the wrong thing? hard to blame them for that
Early Wraith were 48p & later are 32p. which have you got?

Pitch is correct, they make the pinion too skinny, the teeth won't reach the spur with the motor pushed all the way in towards the spur. Let me know if you need more information I can provide pictures, videos, examination writeup's. Whatever else you think you might need.

Pitch is pitch, sounds like your number of teeth is too small to engage. Longer slots in the motor plate, larger tooth count.
Or post up picture

Yep pitch is correct, 48p. Would have to modify the plate to make it work. Not worth all the headache when I could've got an Axial or Robinson pinion that would fit right out of the bag.

in other words you didnt research to see if the pinion you ordered would work with the spur..that is not the sellers fault. Pitch is pitch means if the pitch you got from them was 48p and the tooth count was 10... It would be the exact same size from any other maker such as robinson racing and it still wouldnt fit.

I suggest you research the spur and pinion combinations (not just pitch) that will work with the trans... I have a 56t 32p spur with a 11t 32p pinion... But, I cant run a pinion with 8t because it wont reach the spur...no matter who makes the 8t pinion...see where I am going with this?
